Interview with Pandora Boxx

People are outraged that one of their favorite drag queens, the hilarious Pandora Boxx was booted from the reality TV show, RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Although the judges loved her comedy, they didn’t always like her style and often gave conflicting or erratic criticism of the way she presented herself.

In her last challenge, the contestants were forced to give makeovers to what appeared to be homeless older gay men, making them their drag mother.

The man behind Pandora Boxx, Michael SteckDuring the runway segment where Pandora and her drag mother performed, Pandora was criticized for allowing her older drag protege to outshine her, and for that, she went up for elimination and lost. But don’t cry for Pandora Boxx, she may have been let go from the show, but her future looks brighter than ever.

Listen as Michael Steck, the man who is Pandora Boxx, takes us under the hood of this season’s RuPaul’s Drag Race and shares with us his wild ride on the reality tv show.

Where does a drag queen with a heart of gold from Rochester, New York do now?

Will she hug the hateful judge Santino Rice at the reunion show or will she read him and refuse his affection like Shannel did last year?

  2. I was sad to see her go, especially after the last episode. I thought she always did good work and was levelheaded and seemed like a polite, kind person. p.s. Santino is a douche. i didn’t like him last season and I don’t like him on this one either.

    Totally agree with Faustos on grooming Jujubee (however, her name is spelled).

    Wow… if it is true that JuJu Bee is being groomed to be the winner of the next race, It makes me see a small pattern. Remember how upset in Season 1 Rupaul was when Angina had to be removed from the competition? Was it Ru was hoping Angina would win Season 1?
    Makes me wonder if Rupaul has a thing for short yellowish bald men. (just to point out in all my Asian friends I don’t ever see a yellow to the skin, but even they say they have it, so just going on what I hear, In fact, short of heavy skin color or eye shape, I don’t seem to be very good at recognizing race, which may explain why I am so bad at facial recognition of people unless i have met them dozens of times)

    Anyone else think there might be something to the type of guy Ru likes observation???

      The first time we talked to Ru she said she liked Latin men, so no, I don’t think the winner is necessarily the person Ru wants to screw.

      • I don’t think race is a factor here, but diversity is definitively a key element. But considering that Ongina didn’t make it to #1 means to me that RuPaul does favor people she doesn’t feel threatened by. Or maybe it’s the show’s producers making the decisions, we don’t really know.

    I love pandora boxx :-) I was so sad to see her sent home. Oh and Santino sucks I never liked his personality or his “style” on Project Runway either.

    After watching Season One last year, I am disappointed as Season Two’s focus on schtick. Not humour but petty bitchiness. I am not saying that “reading a bitch to filth” is not hilarious in some cases, but the immaturity and pettiness is reducing the positive energy produced by Season One. So the 2010 producers have decided to serve stereotypical ‘gay’ behaviour rather than show a lttle more of the reality of the people involved. Thanks to FoF for allowing cast members like Pandora to speak their minds and place a little more shape around their personality for us.

    So before anyone decides to bitch me out, the only reason this concerns me at all is that Drag Race is the ony unashamedly gay show on the box – so I beleive it can’t avoid some type of responsibility for quality……..lets hope I didn’t f@#k it up!

    It’s 2010 and Santino still dresses like a reject from the Mad Max films. Is he even relevant?

    Pandora Boxx is my favorite queen, even though Santino did not like a thing from Pandora does not mean I hate him, I was mad that Santino didnt like things that I thought were well put together and looked really cute and I thought Pandora was robbed in the last challage but Pandora is doing great with her career and I think pandoras right she is getting more fame now then she would of if she had won. So no I dont hate Santino but Pandora is still my favorite.
